Which luxe fragrance gift set is your favourite? (Gail V told us & won all 8)

I’m always excited to see the holiday gift set arrivals during the month of December. Fragrance houses save up their very best gift sets since consumers buy almost half of the year’s sales in scent this month. It is hyper competitive between brands and they have teams that spend all year developing gift sets and art teams mocking up versions of holiday prints and designs for boxes and bags. Quite often, these teams will do market study tests early in the year to see which designs and components are more exciting to consumers.

Not only is the packaging spectacular, but there is no better value for your money. As you know, designer fragrances rarely if ever go on sale. But designers do is offer extra value during the holidays. For the price of a regular size eau de parfum, you often get an ancillary product like a body lotion or shower gel for free. I’ve selected eight of my favourite sets from Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss & Chloe. Not only are the scents good, but the packaging and value are some of the best of the season.

The GIVEAWAY: I away ALL 8 DESIGNER SETS to one lucky winner. To enter, I asked readers to tell me in a blog post comment below which of the eight is their favourite. Gail V told us and we drew her name from all entries. Congrats Gail! Happy holidays!!

Each of these gift sets is available in Canada at select Hudson’s Bay stores and thebay.com
